Autonomous Maritime Data Analytics

作为一个岛国，海洋为英国提供了一条重要的防线，以保护它免受不受欢迎的游客的伤害。然而，海洋领域是出了名的困难和危险的作业环境，这使得传统的巡逻监视方法成本高昂。因此，在日益需要对英国领海进行态势感知的时候，英国的海洋监测能力现在相当有限。SiriusInsight已经开发出一种使用人工智能来分析远程来源数据(卫星和陆地)的能力，这避免了需要人工参与数据收集或处理。SiriusInsight将利用其创新拨款进一步发展这一能力，汇集和增强其他领域的最先进方法，并训练其算法生命分析模式，以便它可以用于监测和警报，与替代方案相比，这种方式将以最小的成本极大地扩大覆盖范围。该技术具有广泛的监测应用和潜在用户：例如海上安全(海岸警卫队)、非法移民和走私(边境部队)和渔业保护(DEFRA)。基于SiriusInsight产品的实时态势感知也可用于增强商业航运的避碰，特别适用于操纵能力有限的船只(如测量船)和自主航运。在风电场等海上开发项目的规划中，也有应用增强的生命模式分析。将人工智能与海洋领域相结合，将英国有机会继续作为世界领先者的两个领域。这笔Innovate赠款不仅将确保领先的人工智能工程师在英国的就业，还将帮助SiriusInsight保持该国在该领域的领先地位。

As an island nation, the sea offers the UK an important line of defence to protect it from unwanted visitors. However, the marine domain is a notoriously difficult and dangerous environment in which to operate which makes traditional patrolling surveillance methods expensive. As a result, the country's maritime monitoring capabilities are now quite limited at a time when there is increasing need to have situational awareness of UK territorial waters.SiriusInsight has developed a capability to use artificial intelligence to analyse remotely sourced data (both satellite and terrestrial) which avoids the need for human involvement in either the data collection or its processing.SiriusInsight will use its Innovate grant to develop further this capability, bringing together and enhancing current state-of-art approaches from other domains, and train its algorithms in pattern of life analysis so that it can be used for monitoring and alerting in a way which will greatly enhance coverage at minimal cost relative to the alternatives. This technology has a wide range of monitoring applications and potential users: e.g. sea safety (Coastguard), illegal migration and smuggling (Border Force) and fishery protection (DEFRA).Real-time situational awareness based on the SiriusInsight product can also be used to enhance collision avoidance for commercial shipping with particular application for vessels with restricted ability to manoeuvre (like survey vessels) and autonomous shipping. There are also applications for enhanced pattern of life analysis in planning for offshore developments like wind farms.Combining artificial intelligence with the marine domain brings together two areas where the UK has the opportunity to continue as a world leader. This Innovate grant will not only secure employment in the UK for leading AI engineers but also help SiriusInsight maintain the country's leading position in this field.
